I've beaten quite a few Paladins on my Scholar. The Avalibility of GJ, and everyone using it makes it harder for the Scholar.
However with a Hide Clip, You shouldn't have any problems controlling the SP.
The only problem with killing them, Is that status armor is fairly uneffective, Thanks to almost every single one running High VIT.
Also it depends on the Paladin you're facing.
I've come up against some who aren't quite prepaired for PvP, and go in without a Phree Weapon. (on my Stalker)
In that case, the stalker has a bit higher chance. (note: I had over 300 flee) Strip and Strafe works fairly well.
However most of the time, due to heal, and the huge HP of a Paladin, Most classes will have a hard time killing them.
